I don't think those properties should be required in the sensor
bindings. There are platforms where the clock provided to the sensor
comes from a fixed-frequency oscillator, assigning a rate or parent
makes no sense for those (assigning a parent would actually be
impossible).

Assigning a parent or rate is fine when applicable, but as it can't be
required, there's also no point in listing the properties here.
